This essentially drops the change by r288021 (discussed with Georgii Rymar
and Peter Smith and noted down in the release note of lld 10).
GNU ld>=2.31 enables -z separate-code by default for Linux x86. By
default (in the absence of a PHDRS command) a readonly PT_LOAD is
created, which is different from its traditional behavior.
Not emulating GNU ld's traditional behavior is good for us because it
improves code consistency (we create a readonly PT_LOAD in the absence
of a SECTIONS command).
Users can add --no-rosegment to restore the previous behavior (combined
readonly and read-executable sections in a single RX PT_LOAD).
Also change some options that have different semantics (cause confusion) in llvm-readelf mode:
-s => -S
-t => --symbols
-sd => --section-data

Summary:
Based on Peter Collingbourne's suggestion in D56828.
Before D56828: PT_LOAD(.data PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .bss)
Old: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) .data .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro)) PT_LOAD(.data. .bss)
The new layout reflects the runtime memory mappings.
By having two PT_LOAD segments, we can utilize the NOBITS part of the
first PT_LOAD and save bytes for .bss.rel.ro.
.bss.rel.ro is currently small and only used by copy relocations of
symbols in read-only segments, but it can be used for other purposes in
the future, e.g. if a relro section's statically relocated data is all
zeros, we can move it to .bss.rel.ro.

Old: PT_LOAD(.data | PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .bss)
New: PT_LOAD(PT_GNU_RELRO(.data.rel.ro .bss.rel.ro) | .data .bss)
The placement of | indicates page alignment caused by PT_GNU_RELRO. The
new layout has simpler rules and saves space for many cases.
Old size: roundup(.data) + roundup(.data.rel.ro)
New size: roundup(.data.rel.ro + .bss.rel.ro) + .data
Other advantages:
* At runtime the 3 memory mappings decrease to 2.
* start(PT_TLS) = start(PT_GNU_RELRO) = start(RW PT_LOAD). This
simplifies binary manipulation tools.
GNU strip before 2.31 discards PT_GNU_RELRO if its
address is not equal to the start of its associated PT_LOAD.
This has been fixed by https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=f2731e0c374e5323ce4cdae2bcc7b7fe22da1a6f
But with this change, we will be compatible with GNU strip before 2.31
* Before, .got.plt (non-relro by default) was placed before .got (relro
by default), which made it impossible to have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
(start of .got.plt on x86-64) equal to the end of .got (R_GOT*_FROM_END)
(https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555). With the new ordering, we
can improve on this regard if we'd like to.

Its PR34712,
GNU linkers recently changed default values to "both" of "sysv".
Patch do the same for all targets except MIPS, where .gnu.hash
section is not yet supported.
Code suggested by Rui Ueyama.

This is in preparation for my next change, which will introduce a relro
nobits section. That requires that relro sections appear at the end of the
progbits part of the r/w segment so that the relro nobits section can appear
contiguously.
Because of the amount of churn required in the test suite, I'm making this
change separately.

Currently lld will implicitly reserve space for the headers. This is
not the case is bfd, where it is the script responsibility to use
SIZEOF_HEADERS. This means that a script not using SIZEOF_HEADERS and
expecting the address of the first section to be 0 would fail with lld.
I am fixing that is the next commit. This one just makes the tests
explicitly use SIZEOF_HEADERS to avoid the dependency on the current
behaviour.

This reverts commit r282021, bringing back r282015.
The problem was that the comparison function was not a strict weak
ordering anymore, which this patch fixes.
Original message:
Only restrict order if both sections are in the script.
This matches gold and bfd behavior and is required to handle some scripts.
The script has to assume where PT_LOADs start in order to align that
spot. If we don't allow section it doesn't know about to move to the
middle, we can need more PT_LOADs and those will not be aligned.

Linker scripts are responsible for aliging '.'. Since they are
designed for bfd which has no --rosegment, they don't align the RO to
RX transition.
